Installation
To minimise the risk of ignition by electrical apparatus in hazardous areas efficient installation, inspection and maintenance of apparatus and
systems is essential and the work should be carried out by suitably trained personnel in accordance with the prevailing code of practice.
1) The enclosure should be mounted via the through-holes that are provided in the body. The enclosure should be used as a template when
marking fixing points, alternatively, the dimensions of the fixing centres are found on the enclosure drawing. Expanding bolts should be used
when mounting on concrete, or suitably sized bolts, nuts and anti-vibration washers when mounting to a steel framework.
2) This enclosure is suitable for common environments found in Petro-Chemical, On Offshore Oil & Gas Installations.
If any special environmental protection is required then P+F should be contacted to evaluate such conditions.
3) Ensure appropriate Hardware and supports are used for Mounting enclosure weight.
Remove lid/cover by un-screwing 6 x M6 Socket Hd. Cap screws.
Tool requirement– HEX. Allen Key.
4) Install incoming and outgoing cables using appropriately certified cable glands.
Any unused cable entries are to be plugged using suitably certified stopping plugs.
The stopping plugs shall maintain the enclosure IP66 Rating. This can be achieved by applying a liberal amount of suitable grease
such as "Fluid Film® Liquid AR" to the threads when installing the plugs.
5) Connect earthing to internal & external earth facility.
Ensure when using phase conductors over 10mmsq, appropriate sized rail mounted earth terminal is provided.
6) All terminals should be tightened to the torque specified by their manufacturer.
7) No Cables should be left floating and un-terminal.
8) Once the Lid/cover is fitted, ensure that all fasteners are fully tightened.
Secure cover with the body using 6 x M6 Socket HD. Cap screws.
Note- 1. Ensure gaskets (O-rings ) are positioned correctly.
Ensure cover screws are tightened.
9) Refer to Appropriate Selection Installation & Maintenance Standards for,
a) General Requirements. b) Flameproof Enclosure Ex d.
DOCT-A1N4B
Special conditions of Safe Use
1) The maximum gap of 0.15mm is applicable for all non-threaded joints.
Maintenance
Electrical apparatus installed in hazardous locations has design features that make it operationally safe under normal conditions. In order to
ensure that the apparatus remains serviceable the following points should be attended to on a periodical basis. The period between inspections
is not fixed, but should be adjusted to suit the environmental conditions where the equipment is situated. An initial inspection after 12 months of
use is suggested.
1) Isolate elsewhere before opening.
2) Ensure that all fasteners are present.
3) Dis-assemble as stated in Installation steps.
4) Ensure that the enclosure or control functions are not damaged or distorted so as to prevent proper functioning of the gaskets ( O-rings).
5) Ensure and check any lid mounted operators are secured.
6) Ensure that the enclosure is not corroded such as to affect its IP rating.
7) Ensure all flamepath areas are in good condition.
8) Ensure external earth bonding connections are in place and in good condition.
9) Ensure that all entry devices are in good condition and securely tightened.
10) Ensure that the certification label is present and legible.
With the enclosure open:
11) Ensure that the cover gasket (O-rings) remains in place and is in good condition. Replacement gaskets are available from Pepperl+Fuchs.
12) Ensure that all terminals are in good condition i.e. no cracks or breakage.
13) Ensure that all terminals are tightened to the manufacturer’s specified torque.
14) Ensure that no conductors have moved such as to reduce creepage and clearance distances.
15) Ensure that any modifications that have been performed are in accordance with the previous section, making reference to the certification if
necessary.
16) With the cover refitted, ensure that all fasteners are fully tightened.
17) Refer to Appropriate Selection Installation & Maintenance Standards for,
a) General Requirements, b) Flameproof Enclosure E x d.
MAINTENANCE OF INTERNAL ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT:
1) The replacement of faulty components is to be done using components having exactly the same physical and electrical parameters
with preservation of the existing layout configuration and watts dissipation of components should to taken into consideration.
2) Installation of equipment to be in accordance with appropriate Installation & Maintenance Standards.
3) If Applicable- In the occurrences of window assembly Glass breakage, the cover assembly is to returned to P+F or replacement.
Maintenance :
a) Isolate elsewhere before opening.
b) Dis-assemble as stated in Installation Procedure.
c) Main Visual checks:-
d) Flamepath Condition.
e) Gasket condition.
f) Corrosion of securing screws.
g) Integrity of housings.
h) Wire terminations are secure.
i) Assemble as per installation procedure.
